1) Expose Yourself

Eminem has never been afraid to let people know how fucked up his life was.

He did this so he could leave no room for others to bring him down.

Own up to your mistakes.

Be secure in your own insecurities.

Show people you're comfortable with who you are.

2) Make Bold Claims & Stand By Them

Eminem has said some harsh things in his music career.

But never once did he fold under the pressure and change his stance.

No matter how much hate you get.

If you know it's right, stand firm in your belief.

3) Remain a Student

Even at 51 and regarded as one of the GOATs of rap, Eminem still remains a student.

He is always learning so he can continue to out-rhyme his opponents.

Walk around with a student mentality.

Assume you know nothing.

Never stop learning about your craft.

4) Never Let Anyone Tell You No

In his early career, Eminem had all the cards stacked against him:

- Poor

- Abused

- Discriminated

- Rejected

But he never took "no" for an answer.

You can do anything you set your mind to.

Don't let anything take that power from you.

5) Outwork Everyone

Eminem became a success due to his insane work ethic.

His obsession made him carry around pen and paper so he could always write.

Whatever it is you're pursuing, give it all you got.

Work so hard that your competition has to compete with you to win.
